Day 144 – Captain’s Log: Throwdowns of Each Holy Day of Obligation
Friday, August 7, 2020 – Blessed First Friday! Well, this brings us to the last of our Captain’s Logs (for now).

Day 139 – Captain’s Log: Basic (Vertical) Primers on Church Architecture
Sunday, August 2, 2020 – Annnd…we’re back to the basic primer logs. Today we’ll finish the logs on Church architecture.
